WHAT MADE YOU GRIMACE & GRIT YOUR TEETH TODAY?

Haha... glad my self-convincing helped out a little....

Gritting my teeth because my Sibling yelled at me.
We are both over 60... You'd think we would have passed the 'terrible two's ' by now. (sigh)

<sigh> long day, that is enough to make me grit and grimace. But I just read the weather forcast - grrr.

I have 4 cubic yards of dirt in the parking lot and as much mulch. I have 8 or 9 plants and shrubs to get in the ground as well. It's supposed to be rainy and COLD this weekend. I will be laboring alone saturday and will hopefully have help on sunday. But, it's more likely that the people who actually OWN this property will decide not to come back to plant because of the rain. <sigh> and <grr>

I agree with that weather-induced grimace...f*cking weather...I'm so sick of this chilly bullshit!

I could deal with cold or rain, but COLD AND RAIN!?! Grrr.

It's either the second, or third weekend in a row.

Must be that time of month for Mother Nature...that no good bitch.

Everybody get slappy - he's to blame! Dangit - don't you know not to go around calling that bitch mother nature the b-word?

Gritting my teeth coz I cut my finger while preparing dinner...again! That is, like, three times in the last month!!!
I never used to cut myself..what is going on???

Just got word that I definitely didn't get a job I applied for a couple of weeks ago. Was hoping -- would've been a good one.

Sigh.

First one I've applied for though, so I knew the likelihood was slim.

I have just been reading through various threads and came across one that made me a bit bewildered as to why someone would act in such a way.
All I can say is, I hope the poster in question no longer has access to this site.
Although I never knew the person who was the subject of the topic, I have read his threads and can see what a lovely guy he was.

P.S. I would also like to give a virtual hug to littlek ( I would have done this by PM, but do not have access to this option at the mo)

gritting my teeth coz i too have yet to attain the infamous stage whence i am allowed the privilege of PM

I went through a phase about a two or three years ago, just out of the blue, of burning myself while cooking. I walked around with fresh burn marks on my fingers, hands and arms every week and chalked it up to being pre-menopausal and hormonally off kilter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I had another one of those dreams of pure frustration this morning. While my brother, his wife and our cousin were waiting for me downtown to leave on a vacation, I was still at home?-my mother's home?- washing clothes, trying to pack, fumbling through the yellow pages looking up the number for a cab while frying chicken on the stove. I was supposed to meet them at 6pm and the clock showed 5:47. grrrr.....

Tough deadlines lately, eoe?

Wow. That's a good call Eva but no, the deadlines aren't so tough at the moment. As a matter of fact, I'm cruising along, thinking about playing hooky this afternoon to get a little gardening done. But that's a damn good call, one I'll remember if those I-wanna-pull-my-hair-out dreams start up again like before.

But I think I'll play that 547 in the Pick 3 lotto game today.

Good idea!

uh oh....I don't know that I am ready to be pre-menopausal! Jeez, women struggle with PMS their whole lives and then to top it all off they go menopausal? Proof that God is _not_ a woman?

just talked to a couple of customer reps with a major credit card issuer, about the $308.49 finance charge in my latest bill, because i made a late payment after making a big balance transfer. i'm now going to compose a letter to customer service, pointing out that i've done business with them for 10 years, and would probably continue for another 10 years, if they waive that finance charge, but i suspect they want this quick score now, instead of collecting it over time. i knew this would happen, as soon as i realized i'd forgotten a payment, and immediately made a late payment and talked to a customer rep who couldn't do anything until i got this bill, but it's upsetting nonetheless, especially coming from an outfit that's such a stickler for timely payments, but can't even transfer me from one rep to another without making me repeat my home phone number and mother's maiden name for "security purposes."

having to wear my winter coat today.
